    Am I harming my cat by using chicken broth to entice him to eat wet food?

    He barely touches the wet food, so I tried using some unsalted chicken broth, and while he doesn't eat it all, he's eating more than without it. He has bladder issues and vet told me to get him on a wet diet, am I going to end up making his bladder issues worse?

    FURminator safety?

    Is this really safe to use?, Nikolai doesn't like it. I'm really gentle with it, as I'm afraid of hurting him.
